title: Regression of Kaposi's sarcoma lesions following highly active antiretroviral therapy in an HIV-infected patient.
abstract: This case report documents that highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) can lead to the regression of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) lesions in the auditory canal of an HIV-infected male from Chennai, India. In resource-limited settings where administering anti-KS chemotherapeutic agents may not be feasible, HAART alone can be an option in HIV-infected individuals with KS.
